Dec 17, 2007

PLYMOUTH, N.H. - The two leading scorers on the
Plymouth State University women's basketball team were recognized
by the Little East Conference on Monday for their performances in a
pair of Panther wins last week.

Sophomore Karly Gray (Southampton, Mass./Williston
Northampton) was named to the LEC Weekly Honor Roll, and freshman
Amanda Kania (Manchester, N.H./West) was selected
LEC Rookie of the Week. Gray is honored by the LEC for the first
time this season, while Kania earned her second Rookie of the Week
honor this winter.

A 5'8" guard/forward, Gray (right) averaged 20.0 points
and 5.0 rebounds in PSU's 2-0 week, while shooting 64 percent from
the field (16-of-25). She made 10-of-14 shot attempts en
route to a career-high 24 points Tuesday in a win over Lasell, and
added 16 points in Saturday's triumph over Johnson &
Wales. Gray leads the team and ranks 18th in the conference
in scoring with 9.8 points per game.

A 5'11" forward, Kania (left) averaged a double-double for
the two Panther games, finishing the week with averages of 13.5
points and 12.0 rebounds. After scoring just six points and
collecting eight rebounds in Tuesday's win over Lasell, Kania
enjoyed her best game to date in Saturday's victory over Johnson
& Wales, with career-highs of 21 points and 16 rebounds.
She made 10-of-19 shots from the floor for a .526 shooting
percentage. Kania is second on the team in both scoring and
rebounding (8.6 points and 5.7 rebounds per game), and is ranked
24th in the LEC in scoring and 13th in rebounding.

PSU completed the first semester at 5-5 overall and 0-2 in the
LEC. The Panthers are taking final exams this week, and after
a break for the holidays, will return to the court on Thursday,
Jan. 10, at UMaine Farmington (7:00 p.m.)
